Library Crisis over.

I have returned to the library and gotten a new card! I CAN READ. So I'm reading 1984. it took a while to get into, but i'm going to stick it out.

It's parents week again. Gross. I hate parents week more than i hate peas. But less than I hate fish. Day one √ (that's supposed to be a check mark)

I'm going to bed.

HAPPY ELECTION DAY!

I'm not a voter...because I got lazy and didn't register. Yes all you voters can reprimand me if you so desire.

Anyway.
There was a festival in my neighborhood this weekend. It lasted for 3 days. It was great. I will upload a video eventually. But i have to download and maybe figure out how to edit it first. I made this really awesome video by accident. By awesome I mean not awesome. It's half festival half inside of my jumper pocket. WHOOOPS! Go figure. Anyway, Pete and I met this old guy at the festival and he gave Pete free beer and then tried desperately to make his grandaughter speak to us. we communicated for a while in 1/2 broken english and 1/2 broken japanese. And I'm pretty sure he told me that I should have a child...or that I looked like I was going to have a child. Either way i was a bit offened and it was really awkward. So on that note, we left. But I think that Japanese festivals are pretty much the best thing in the world. Aside from the pumpkin pie that i made the other day.

I have this student (good transition there, I know) his name is Shohei. He is eighteen years old and says the funniest things in class. 1st of all, he can't make a complete, correct sentence to save his life. Anyway I would like to tell you some funny things he says.
One time we were talking about how his "stamina" has gone down since he stopped playing baseball....meaning he's gotten lazier. After telling me about his stamina, he said, "I'm fatting now, too. I should diet"
Then today, we were playing "Would You Rather" and he asked me if I'd rather eat a Mexican or a Chinese. but then he caught and corrected himself. We both had a good laugh about that.
Oh such a silly boy.

Tonight I drank a cup of Espresso blend coffee...in like 1 minute... I've been shaky and over caffienated ever since. EEK! Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight.

I returned my library books that I had had for a year yesterday, so I could check out more. Buuuut... after I returned them, I realized that I had lost my card. Tragedy. Maybe I can get a new one. we'll see.

I'm finished.
